Just starting out as a fledgling writer? Let’s say you’ve been writing a bit but never sharing your work. How about that you finally have retired and now you have that personal time to set aside and write. Whatever your situation, getting a good grasp of Character Development is a great start to creating a masterful novel.
Writers in training and experienced authors loved the craft of writing during the latest session of the High Desert’s “Howl at the Moon” Writers Conference October 6th. This one-day workshop featured dynamo Marilyn Atlas diving into creating characters by dating them. What?
The concept is personal. You must learn your characters traits inside and out to better show them as real people with flaws and warts. What better way than to “date” them and dig deep into their psyche. Your readers will appreciate it.
This sponsored conference was available to the public, and over 35 attendees took the advantage. The High Desert branch of the California Writers Club sponsored the event while bringing highly prized speakers up to the High Desert.
